I was fortunate enough to have purchased a Blackhawk in 10mm/40 with a 6.5" barrel a few years ago. I have a 1911 in 10mm and plenty of 40 S&W pistols but not one in 38-40, I do have an 1892 Winchester, so I had Borchardt Rifle Company make one for me. It took close a year and a half and a return trip to fine tune the overall length but it was worth the wait.
I fired it yesterday and it is more accurate then either of the factory cylinders. I have read a lot about how weak the 38-40 is and after shooting this caliber in a handgun I don't think you would be under gunned with one especially in a personal defense situation.
I have a feeling I will be using the 38-40 more than the 10mm and 40.
